lyrics

heres to us
they say we made it
better to erupt
than fade in
and out of time
we wish we were going home
but we’re not alone
its enough
to stay here
but not for long
can’t wait here
we’re not that strong
so pour one out for the ones
we left behind

and if you go i will go as well
and if you don’t i won’t ever tell

chorus:
honey this is it this is what we do
wish we could be the people we thought we were
yeah way back in the day when we thought we knew
he’ll always feel something at the thought of her

I'm sorry
I'm so tired
All the time
You don't believe me
When I say I'm fine
and i wish that i could lie
but you read my mind
theres so much
im unsure about
in this life
and i wonder how
we’re getting by
cause we sure as hell aren’t fine
guess we’re good enough

It's a nightmare and you know I'm trying
But I just can't sleep anymore at night

[chorus]

cause honey this is it this what we do
we live with the decisions that others choose
the people that we love they don’t always stay
now all we want is to be in other shoes

everyone
is hurting
honey don’t forget
but we’re learning
its not that bad
to wear your heart on your sleeve
so don’t cut it off
yeah we’re all
just lost kids
in a park
mortals dancing
defying the dark
but we’ll never lose our spark
and that’s just enough

yeah it sucks but there’s not other way
and this all will end but not today

[chorus]

everybody’s fucked honey don’t forget
our heads are gonna pay for our hearts' demands
just take a look around at this world we’re in
they say everybody’s ok but it’s just pretend

so as much as we might wanna get outta here
i think we’d rather love and lose than to just be bare
i know it hurts but scars they heal and we live and learn
he’ll always feel something at the thought of her
